Zusammenfassung

Die sonografische Untersuchung des weiblichen Beckens hat sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten deutlich weiterentwickelt und neue Einsatzgebiete erschlossen. Ausschlaggebend war die enorme Weiterentwicklung der Gerätetechnik, die in den letzten Jahren zu einer erheblichen Verbesserung der Bildqualität und zur Entwicklung komplementärer Techniken (Farbdoppler‑, Doppler‑, 3D‑/4D-Sonografie und Hysterokontrastsonografie) geführt hat und die Qualität der sonografischen Diagnostik deutlich verbesserte.
